CHAPTER X
fAPT. JAMES CARR took their
Victory sailplane down to
Cleveland's airport like some gi
gantic condor settling to a lei
surely perch.
"Ooooooo-o-o-o, Jimmy!" Pat
sounded off in a little-girl scare.
"Stop it," he ordered. "No ooing.
No apologizing or anything ot the
sort. Just put on a lot ot smiling
dignity and bluff right through."
"Yes, Jimmy. I I'll try."
Smiling dignity. That's what he
wanted and Pat knew It was right.
Knew, too, that Loraine Shlart
would have done It with natural
ness and poise. "I'll prob'ly stut
ter or say the wrong things," she
predicted, nervously.
"You won't," said he. "You
have what it takes, Pat, Remem
ber that source mind!"
"But I Jimmy I "
There was no more time. The
crowd was on them, the reporters
and the photographers and the
officials and the reception com
mittees and the mass of John Pub
lic himself. For almost 50 min
utes life was a veritable whirl
around pretty Patricia Friday.
She seemed to be shaking a mil
lion hands, hearing a million
questions. She remembered . to
Keep a happy smile, but that de
tail wasn't hard because this was
all so exhilarating. Jimmy was
making a short talk at a micro
phone. Then she herself had to
speak there and to her dying day
she'd never know what she said!
Smiling dignity. She hoped, for
Jimmy's sake, that she had man
aged it
When she became wholly ra
tional again, she was 3000 feet up,
sitting comfortably behind Cap
tain Carr and streaming west
ward for Chicago. Jimmy was
singing, basso-baritone. -.-
"Heigh ho, heigh ho,
A sailing, a sailing TO foj '
High in the air.
With a lady so fair
'A sailinff, . a - sailing TO
go-o-o-o-o!"
He broke into his ditty. "How'm
, I doing, Pat?."
. "Swell." ,
"What?""" " "
"Swell!" She repeated, leuder.
'YoU 'sure'-are talkative! Me,
I'm having? a- time. And say, the
mob down there liked you, Pri
vate Pat Thanks plenty!"
"I'm glad, Jim."
"It'll be worse in Chicago. Or
better. Depending on your point
of view."
. . "I love it, personally. I love
everything about gliding and soar
ing. I intend to make it a career
But hut I'm out of place here
and I know it You're sweet to
try to smooth it over, and all;
telling me nice things."
"You're not out of place. There
had to be a woman passenger."
"But I'm not the right woman.
Loraine will be furious, Jim. And
I don't blame her. With me, hav
ing to use her name, and "
- Captain Carr laughed. "Guess
you're right She can throw a
mad when she wants to."
Now what did he mean by that,
Pat wondered. Sitting there ir the
sailplane behind him, she studied
his handsome back, the tilt of his
head, the crinkle of his hair. He
went bareheaded as much as
Army style let him; he was like
her brother in the Navy, or like
a college boy, virile, and devilish,
and gentle withaL In his words
he admitted his fiancee ought to
be here with him, but in his tone
he implied that life was grand
as is.
"Jimmy," she called.
! "Hup?"
"I I'll do better in Chicago. I
mean, I will. I won't have stage
fright so. I have my speech all
planned in my mind, and I'll try
not to let you down in the slight
est. I'll try to be a real lady."
He laughed loud. "Imagine
you, being a lady!"
"But Jimmy!"
"That'll take 22 more years,
Private Pat! And at least 22 more
pounds on you. But listen the
lady passenger we needed didn't
have to be a dowager with a lor
gnette, nor even a somebody with
Eleanor Roosevelt poise. Why
hells-to-betsy, Pat, you did swell!"
She loved him lor that For
that and and well she Just
loved him. It made her miserable
even as it exalted her. r.
T?OR days now she bad. ordered
herself to deal with Captain
Carr in a strictly business manner.
Heart affairs had no place in
stern Army life. She was a career
girl, pure and simple. Most im
portant of all, Captain Carr was ,
engaged to Loraine Stuart a per
son definitely his own type so far
ns looks go (Pat would admit no
more, even to herself). It was
sheer accident that she, Pat, was
in this sailplane now; an emer
gency duty, which she was obli
gated to fulfill. On forced mas
querade. She faced Chicago's throng with
fine determination, and she carried
off her duties well. If Cleveland
had turned out a "mob" as Jimmy
called it, Chicago turned out a
multitude. This was to be an
over-night stop, to the reception

at the airport was longer, and the
parade down Michigan Boulevard
and around the Loop and over to
Lake Shore Drive and such won
derful places all found Pat ap
preciative but calm. No more little-girl
jitters. No more stage
fright The mayor himself went
out of his way to compliment her
as "the spirit of young American
womanhood," and the news pho
tographers must have used up all
their reserve film. Pat was learn
ing to take prominence and dish
out the proper propaganda for
soaring, which was hers and Jim
my's assigned task.
But even so, there was a strain
to it After the banquet that eve
ning she was grateful for the
chance to ride the hotel elevator
up to the room that had been re
served originally for Loraine. She
had worked until after 2 last
night helping Jimmy get ready.
And then, having been snatched
away by Jimmy as emergency
passenger it was all enough to
make her want a rest
She asked to take her own
room key up the elevator, lest ad
miring people follow her even
further. Tactfully, the elevator
man gave her private express run,
let her out alone. And alone she
went to her door.
"Wh-h-h-h!" she sighed, paus
ing there a moment. ";at a
thing I'm doing! And what a sleep
I'm going to have!"
She went inside, closed the
door. The light switch eluded her
a moment, but then she popped it
on.
"So you thought you could get
by with that!" a voice snapped,
in .hiting anger. .
